As a father to daughters, I love this. As a musician, I love this. As a Tears for Fears fan, I love this. As a person with ears connected to my brain with a beating heart, I love this.

Wow! Beautiful!!!

Imagine the moment when you find out your dad was responsible for some of the best and most popular music of the 1980s . . .

Her harmonizing tho. It sends shivers down my spine. It needn't be better.

A child that can laugh and play music with a parent is a blessing.

This is how children become good people. Good parenting.

I'm a 50 year old man, father of a daughter, sitting here with tears in my eyes. This is the most beautiful thing I've heard in a long time. Curt, Diva, your music has caused me to pause and reflect in this confusing, frightening time. Thank you. THANK YOU!

I was probably his daughter’s age when I first heard this song. Now I’m 55 years old. Always a TFF fan. Beautiful harmony!!

My ex boyfriend used to play this song on piano and guitar, he passed away in July. When his mom and I were looking for a song to play at the funeral, she remembered this song.... we cried and decided that it wasn't appropriate for the funeral because his death was tragic. My 21st birthday was on sunday and as I was having my first drink with my family, this song came on in TGI fridays, such a strange place and timing, but it was Jake coming to say happy birthday through this song.... he knew i would hear him. Thank you so much for your music and me being able to hold this memory so fondly, i will always sing this song and one day I hope to learn to play it even though ive never played an instrument myself

You should add "and his daughter Diva" in the title. The girl totally earned it.

If you sit together with your daughter playing this song, the world can't be that mad.

Tears for Fears were extremely underrated, perhaps too easily overlooked. Their content was not fluff like pop music is today. We need to revisit their stuff intently just like this.

The father and daughter’s voice just fit so perfectly

I always thought that hearing 60,000 people at a concert singing your song back to you would be the ultimate experience. Turns out harmonizing with your daughter on a song you wrote is much more fulfilling.

Imagine if your dad had wrote one of the most iconic songs of the last 40 years and you are good enough to put a beautiful slant on it! Hats off, great version

She looks just like her dad and is brilliant singing with him in this classic tune.

Daughter was spot on with her playing, harmonies and charisma, way to pay it forward Curt

LOL, Pop gave her all the hard parts - the rhythm guitar and lead, and the harmonies. Pop must be proud!

What more a father would want than see his daughter playing with him one of his songs? This is happiness!

I can't stop playing this. It's the best thing I've heard in 2024.

For anyone who has a daughter (I do), this is as heartwarming as it can be. Good fathers make great daughters.

No one harmonizes better than family members. They have that semblance implanted in their voices. This was a prime example - beautiful, natural harmony. Bravo!

One day she will look upon this moment and treasure it.

Doesn’t matter if Curt is performing with a full TFF band in front of thousands or just sitting and strumming with his daughter, he still gives it his all. Beautiful!

Priceless memory between a father and his daughter.

when she came in with the perfect harmony i couldn't click thumbs up quick enough.

This Man is enjoying every moment he can with his daughter - and some day this will be a moment frozen in time when she remembers him.

3 years later and this is still amazing. If you didn’t know it was his daughter and it was in radio, you would think “that’s a great back-up vocalist he’s got there. So good.

Curt’s daughter’s harmonies combine beautifully. He must be very proud of her and she of him.

His daughter absolutely killed it and her guitar is gorgeous.

As a dad of 3 daughters, this rendition of Mad World always makes me tear up. The connection between Curt and his daughter is something that I've felt many times.

I find myself returning to this song once again. The beauty of he and his daughter playing this....I remember the song new, as a old man now and a grandfather, to see this, simply beautiful

Honestly the way she is coming in with her vocal parts really makes it feels really special, it's like a slow volume rise into a beautiful harmony.

There’s nothing like the vocal harmonies of blood. It sounds so good when it’s family.

I think that’s the sign of a truly great song, when it can be stripped down to very basic instrumentation like this and still sound utterly magnificent.

If you walked into a room with 1,000 young women, you would immediately know that this was Kurt's daughter.

Something about him singing this sad song with his own child makes it so much more powerful. Struggling with the emotion here. Just beautiful.

Your daughter is an unbelievable singer.

Her vocals are absolutely brilliant

Curt Smith is a genius and the apple doesn't fall far from the tree when it comes to Diva. Amazing.

This is beautiful. And on a weird side note, I have always wanted a father who would spend time doing this type of thing with me. I’m glad relationships like this exist between fathers and daughters. 🥰

It's fantastic to see these artist playing with their children.

When you know your dad is cooler than you. But, he secretly knows you are about to blow him away with your brilliance.

Who didn't have a mad crush on Curt Smith growing up in the 80's? I love seeing him with such a lovely family.

Great performance. Curt's daughter was spot on with her playing and harmonies. I bet Curt was a very proud dad in that moment!

It's insane to think that while this song was played over and over again she wasn't even alive. She just wasn't here. Her consciousness didn't exist... And when we're gone she will do the living. New possibilities, new anxieties, new moments of happiness, and we'll simply not be there. We were just passengers, we happened to be on the same train for a couple of stops and then... good-bye. That's crazy

The daughter must be so proud to have a father who actually WROTE such a profound song

When her voice kicked in, I got goosebumps. Beautiful.

My heart swells knowing the joy of a parent & child connecting like this

It really is a Mad World, but listening to this makes it all better.

When this song came out in Australia, Curt was 21, now he is now 58 (same as me) and his beautiful daughter is now 21. Nice synergy. Haunting rendition. Well done. This one is a keeper.😊

One of the best things I’ve ever seen on KZfaq

i find it hard to tell you 'cause i find it hard to take when people thumb down this video, it's a very, very mad world

This is how I imagined parenthood would be. It wasn't

When she added her voice, it was SO much richer and sweeter.

just beautiful....wonderful harmonics

Who in their right mind would give this a thumbs down? This is fantastic!

Absolute living proof of the saying "less is more." Fabulous.

The chemistry here is rarely seen in music, but when it happens, it is heavenly.

Its so amazing to see Curt singing a song with his daughter..... I really loved back in 85....and its still a mad world....

I have a feeling his daughter may become an incredible and well known talent.

of course, the song is great, but the fact it's father and daughter is just awesome !

I love this and love to see the love and relaxed confidence of his daughter. Thank you!

30+ years and this song is going strong. It transcends generations and genres. And a father/daughter rendition to hammer home how wonderful it is. Beautiful.

Lucky girl to have a dad who obviously loves her.

I literally got chills when her harmony vocal came in. Gorgeous.

This girl knows when to sing. A beatiful and full of grace support for her dad.

Harmonizing with your daughter on a beautiful song that is beloved by millions must be a great feeling.

Isn't this just an amazing father / daughter moment? Fantastic.

Must be so cool to be a young person with a parent whose music transcends and connects generations. Beautiful in every way, treat for the ears, heart and soul.

My father was also a guitarist for a small Finnish band during the 1970's, he was born in 1953 so bit older than Curt. I know it's nothing compared to Curt and Tears for Fears. Just saying this because I'm musical too and never got to play with him. He was diagnosed with frontotemporal dementia in 2013 and has since been in a nursing home. This video almost brought tears to my eyes thinking about my dad.

Kurt, you must be very proud, and honored that your talented daughter is happy to sing a duet with you. Clearly you are a great role model.

suddenly having a daughter seems like something I would like...

As decades roll by, I realize more and more what an extraordinary album "Songs from The Big Chair" is. Tears for Fears is so fresh and brilliant -- nothing else quite like them came again.

From the smile-inducing moment where Diva realises that she's blocking Curt's face with the head of her guitar, through the harmonic brilliance of their conjoined voices, and the fact that it's an awesome Dad-daughter moment, to the victory High-Five at the end, this makes me grin from ear to ear every time I watch it

I really love the way their voices blend. Beautiful.

This may be the greatest version of this song I’ve ever heard. She nearly broke the old mans hand.

moments a father and daughter will cherish a lifetime

When she started singing I started to cry.

Love this song. It’s so haunting and heartbreaking.

Me: “oh that’ll be some girl he’s teaching” double take “ok she can play..” “Holy Shit that harmony!!!” That was amazing

Almost clicked away. Then she started harmonizing. Love it.

Wow, if she isn't her father's daughter, she looks just like him only prettier, and she sings better too, Love the song, what a great Dad

What a beautiful gift to spend TIME w/your daughter & sing w/her!! Such a special experience you two shared. AND THEN...., shared w/the world! Thank you! 😘😘😘

That is just the coolest thing ever. Dad and daughter doing a chill combo.

All the great comments I just read through forgot to mention Diva's guitar playing and singing combination. She's very talented at both, the apple didn't fall far from the tree for sure!

That’s really neat. I bet she’s been singing with him her whole life.

Curt has passed it on to his daughter!😊

The harmonies on the words ‘sad’ and ‘had’ are gorgeous

Over a year later and Im still watching this and it still puts a big smile on my face. Its is simply beautiful.

She's incredibly good proving the music gene runs in families.

Great rendition Father and Daughter love it

My father taught me guitar when I was a child in the 1960s. This means so much to me. My father is gone, but his spirit lives on. Thank you from the bottom of my heart.

You know when people say "I don't know who needed to hear this but".. Me. I needed to hear this. One of my favorite songs of all time done beautifully. Made my week.

the proof that talent can be inherited, goosebumps on "sad" and "had".

1974 checking in. In 1982 we were the kids. In 2020 we are the parents. "Hello Teacher tell me what's my lesson - looked right through me" takes on a whole new double meaning when you become the teacher. I don't know if Curt Smith realized this song would become a THEME song for our generation when he first wrote it.

I love the song. But the best thing i love here is to see the father and the daughter smile at each other, in deep profound understanding. That connection is worth a lot!

This is the first musician and child performance that I found myself more blown away by the child

She’s obviously brilliant but it’s impossible to not notice Curt’s gorgeous acoustic bass.

As a long time Musician and Fan of Tears For Fears, My Compliments to Curt and his daughter for their performance. Curt has clearly passed on his Musical Talent and Voice to his daughter Diva. Great Job!
